Got a question about R5 1600 AF

[Dapolarbear]

I've a compatibility question about  the AMD ryzen 5 1600 AF YD1600BBAFBOX and the asus a320m-k, the old 1600 AE was listed as supported cpu but there's no information's about the 1600 AF .
my question is the a320m-k iwill support a r5 1600 AF or not ?
Thanks

probably needs bios update, but I dont know if the latest one is new enough

 

that's also a garbage grade board, I hope you're not trying to pair them up

as I know after the bios update the motherboard can support the new r5 3600 with DDR4 3733MHz, what i'm lookin' for is installin' the R5 1600 AF with asus a320m-k and for the next upgrade i'll replace it with r5 3600

That's near impossible, this board is that bad

that VRM temperature would be awful

about it's impossible well 

and 

about the VRM temp 
70°C

My A320M-K runs a R5 1400 just fine... Can't overclock it at all, but runs XMP 3000mhz just fine. Never tried 3733mhz on the board however.

ah great i'm not for overclocking option it's just run the R5 1600 AF and 3600 with stock frequency that's what i'm lookin' for with lowest price

I have never tried my faster sticks in the rig.

It was a bundle purchase board Ram and Cpu for around 350$ in 2017. Built a Family HTPC gaming rig with it. It's solid.

 

Hopefully you have a Gen 1 chip to update the bios. It may not come with a newer bios to support the 1600AF as that was released long after the mobo. Just a fair heads up there.

That's a 4133MHz CL19 kit downclocked to 3733MHz CL18, have you checked prices on those? By impossible, I mean cranking up a 3000/3200MHz kit up to that.

 

Zen+ parts like the AF wont do more than 3466MHz with tight timings either.

 

and memory speeds that high is also a type of overclock. XMP is just "guaranteed overclock for the memory alone"

that's probably helped by the CPU cooler having the fan blowing down, but note that the wraith stealth for the 3600 often has noise issues, but going to a tower cooler like the Hyper 212 worsens airflow for the VRM and it will shoot up.

Can you elaborate this a bit more. What is tight timings at this frequency?

so there's no hope with a320 motherboards, what about the asrock b450 pro4 as i said i'm not looking for oc or rgb and high end stuffs just running r5 1600 AF and r5 3600 with lowest prices scenarios

CL14 is tight, CL16 is so-so, CL18 is really loose.

MSI do sell boards with BIOS flashback so you can update the BIOS yourself even if it doesn't work, but those cost more. Otherwise I would try their ATX A-Pro or mATX Pro-VDH, I've seen the Mortar do 3600MHz 16-21-24-42 with an R5 3600 so the Pro-VDH shouldn't be much worse either.

I agree Zen+ can do this Very easily. 3466 is pretty low frequency. I can get you screenies of CL12/13 but on much better hardware lol.

@ShrimpBrime and @Jurrunio thank u so much guys  
well I guess it's fine now
amd ryzen 1600 AF 12nm instead of 14nm

[kampfas]

be carefull tho i have a asrock B450-pro4 board to support the 1600af i need bios 3.9 however that update recomands not using that cpu since its still a 

Pinnacle Ridge nice joke of asrock you need it to support the cpu but they recomend not using the cpu if you do have the update XD
